The Mestizo Mind: The Intellectual Dynamics of Colonization and Globalization
ISBN: 9780415928786 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A Mestizo is a person of mixed blood - specifically, a person of mixed European and American Indian ancestry. Historian Serge Gruzinski here offers a critique of colonization and globalization. Looking at the 15th century colonization of Latin America, Gruzinski documents the melange that resulted: colonized mating with colonizers; Indians joining the Catholic Church and colonial government; and Amerindian visualizations of Jesus and Perseus. These physical and cultural encounters created a new culture, a new individual and a phenomenon we now call globalization.

The Last American Diplomat: John D Negroponte and the Changing Face of US Diplomacy
ISBN: 9781848858695 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can John D. Negroponte be described as ""The Last American Diplomat?"" In a career spanning 50 years of unprecedented American global power, he was the last of a dying breed of patrician diplomats - devoted to public service, a self-effacing, and ultimate insider, whose prime duty was to advise, guide, and warn. Negroponte served as US ambassador to Honduras, Mexico, the Philippines and Iraq; he was US Permanent Representative to the UN, Director of National Intelligence and Deputy Secretary of State to George W. Bush. His was a high-flying and seemingly conventional career but one full of...

ISBN: 9780333605776 / Angielski / Twarda / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is an examination of what republicanism meant to the Americans who drafted and ratified the United States Constitution, guaranteeing a republican form of government to every state in the Union. The book compares the writings and speeches of the founders with the authors they read and imitated to identify the central tenets of American republicanism, and to demonstrate that American republican thought directly reflected classical models, rather than a mediating tradition of English or continental political theory.

Historical Dictionary of Mesoamerica
ISBN: 9780810871670 / Angielski / Twarda / 446 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mesoamerica is one of six major areas of the world where humans independently changed their culture from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle into settled communities, cities, and civilization.

Military, social and economic historians have long appreciated the significance of the conflict in Korea in shaping the post-war world.

What has been less appreciated is the role played by the United Nations and the British Commonwealth in influencing US strategy at this time of crisis: the Truman administration invested time and effort into gaining UN approval for the conflict in Korea,...
